DEMAND FOR ELIGIBLES WITH CERTAIN QUALIFICATIONS.

There is an increasing demand for male clerks qualified as stenographers and typewriters, veterinarians, draftsmen of the various kinds, and for civil, mechanical, and electrical engineers; superintendents of construction, computers, and aids in the Coast and Geodetic Survey; also for teachers, matrons, seamstresses, farmers, and physicians in the Indian Service, and for railway mail clerks in most of the Western and some of the Gulf States.

Persons who become eligible in any of the examinations for positions outside of Washington, D. C., which are not apportioned usually have a good chance of appointment. The same is true of those who pass examinations for apportioned positions if they are residents of States or Territories which have received less than their full share of appointments.

A manual containing all information needful to applicants is furnished by the Civil Service Commission upon request.
